Although this year gave us such disasters as Transformers 2 and GI Joe, the disappointment of the year has to go to the last ten minutes of the animated film 9. I say disappointment because this was a creepy, atmospheric film that breathed new life into the tired sci-fi cliche of te “post-apocalyptic world” genre; however, the ending seemed like a pat, studio-decision cop-out to wrap everything up with a happy ending. Didn’t work for the Golden Compass film, doesn’t work here now. At least with Transformers, you knew this was going to be a godawful wreck — 9 built up our expectations and crushed them at the last minute. Disappointing.
